Hooked by Liz Fichera

Goodreads Description

When Native American Fredricka ‘Fred’ Oday is invited to become the only girl on the school’s golf team, she can’t say no. This is an opportunity to shine, win a scholarship and go to university, something no one in her family has done.

But Fred’s presence on the team isn’t exactly welcome — especially not to rich golden boy Ryan Berenger, whose best friend was kicked off the team to make a spot for Fred.

But there’s no denying that things are happening between the girl with the killer swing and the boy with the killer smile...

GET HOOKED ON A GIRL NAMED FRED.

My Review

4/5

I received this as an ARC from netgalley.com

This story is one of the few that I have read recently which
is exactly as it is described. Fred is the only female member of a boys golf
team which on its own can cause some controversy but on top of that she is one
of the few students in the school who lives on the nearby reservation which leaves room
for discrimination because of her race and her lack of wealth. Unlike all the
boys on the team whose fathers have memberships to golf clubs, Fred's father
works at one.

From the beginning of the story Fred is struggling against
all odds to win a scholarship and escape the life she is currently living. With
problems at home and at school she fights through it all to get a life she
deserves but fighting gets tough at times.

Ryan has every reason to hate Fred. She took the spot of his
best friend on the golf team without having to even try out. Despite his
loyalty to his friend he can't help but acknowledge the strength of this girl and watching her struggle he
becomes fascinated.

Between these two characters fighting for what they want
takes courage and a lot of will power. This story has plenty of twists and
turns and will probably bring tears to your eyes. It's a nail biting and heart
wrenching journey and worth the read.

What can I say about Darkness? This book was just everything I was hoping for and more. I didn't think I could fall any more in love with this series but I was wrong. My love grew tenfold with this book....
